Abstract

The construction industry faces the challenge of reducing high CO₂ emissions from Portland cement production. Rice husk ash (RHA) has emerged as a supplementary cementitious material with high pozzolanic reactivity. The objective of this systematic literature review was to analyze the technical feasibility of partially replacing Portland cement with RHA in structural concrete. A documentary analysis of articles indexed in high-impact databases was applied, with explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings show that controlled calcination at 500–700 °C generates highly reactive amorphous silica that densifies the cementitious matrix through the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H). The optimal substitution percentage is 10%, at which multiple studies report compressive strengths exceeding conventional control designs. It is concluded that RHA represents an ecological and technically viable alternative for the construction industry.

Keywords: rice husk ash, structural concrete, supplementary cementitious materials, compressive strength, circular economy, sustainability.
